In my adopted home state of North Carolina, the state bar association runs the North Carolina Lawyers For Entrepreneurs Assistance Program to provide struggling and "low wealth" businesses owners with free legal advice.
If your business is in North Carolina, call (800) 662-7407 or click here for details.
To find out if your state has a similar program, and to see if you qualify, log onto your favorite search engine and type in "Your State Bar Association." The search results should display the organization in your state as the top result.
If you live in a very large state, check to see if they have an office near you. Because it is sometimes difficult to find such programs listed at state bar websites, to save time, call them and ask if they have a program that provides any type of free or subsidized legal services to small and/or low income business owners.
If they do, ask them for a website link and the name and contact information of the person in charge of the program so you can follow up for further information. You may have to certify that you meet certain criteria by filling out a form or two.
If you find such a program in your state, feel free to share it in the comments section so others can benefit.
